In an Instagram post, passenger @anthcarrio explained: “Looks like it harfer (sic) to get to ibiza then we thought ive never seen so many people so scared in there life!"

"Portable charger blew up in the same row as I was sitting everyone tries to run and all I do was put it out with water.

"Luckily it was just before taking off come on people how can no one else think of doing that fire across the whole plane width of the plane emergency exits are pre fun when there's not a real emergency."

Afterward, Ryanair released a statement: "Passengers on a Barcelona-Ibiza flight (on the ground in Barcelona) on Tuesday afternoon (31 July) experienced an emergency evacuation caused by a mobile phone catching fire as it was being charged by a battery pack.”
